Harvest Soup

I found this recipe last year sometime and decided to try it. At first I was a little confused by the combination of food, but once you try it you won't be disappointed!!! I don't know the exact measurements since I now make it from memory.
Enjoy!

4 strips of bacon cooked and chopped
1 Red potato sliced
1 small carrot pealed and sliced
1 cup water
1 tsp of chicken boulion
2 cups milk
3/4 cup of frozen corn
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbs of cornstarch
3 Tbs cold water
1 cup cheese
Green onion

First cook your bacon through and set aside on paper towel to let drippings soak. Then put your potato, carrot, water and boulion together and boil for 20 minutes (If you have picky ones in your house who don't like green onions you can add 1/2 cup onions here, I usually use a few Tbs of dried onion.) Then add milk and frozen corn, pepper and garlic. Then heat until corn is softer about 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to boil or your milk will scald. Mix cornstarch and water together until smooth and pour into soup and then heat for a bit longer until thicker. (You can add as much cornstarch mixture as you want. Remember that more cornstarch = thicker soup).  Then turn off stove and remove from head and add cheese stirring until melted. Don't cook more because your cheese will fall to the bottom of the pan.  Spoon into bowls and put bacon and green onions on top as desired.
